PhD Scholarship in Topology at Aberdeen University, UK

         "A scholarship has become available for a student wishing to study
for a PhD at Aberdeen University, Scotland, beginning in September/October
2002. The scholarship covers university fees and a living allowance at the
standard rate for UK PhD students. There are no restrictions on the
nationality of the recipient. The scholarship is for three years, with
continuation beyond the first year subject to satisfactory progress.
         The successful applicant will work with Dr. Michael Weiss in the
area of differential and algebraic topology. Professor Ib Madsen (Aarhus)
and Dr. Michael Weiss have recently announced the resolution of the
generalised Mumford Conjecture on the automorphism groups of compact
oriented surfaces.
Enquiries should be directed to John Hubbuck in the first instance at
